can u post a pic of the custom painted Lews

gotcha. thx for the info man. what length rod would u normally use for flickshakes and the trick worms? thinkn i may grab a carbonlite while theyre on sale

so if i go with casting gear i need to look for say a 6-6'6 medium/xtra fast rod? or a medium lite?

so the 5:2 spinning reel would work fine for finesse worms?

what would be a good spinning setup for this.? i have a spinning setup i purchased years ago but never really used. its a 6ft medium bps graphite series with a bps spinning reel like a 5:2:1 ratio. would definitely upgrade that rod and reel if needed

awesome rod. ive got a 6'6 mh guide can be fixed and agree it would make a good frog rod

never thrown weightless or wacky rigged stuff but plan to expand my techniques this season. bought some senkos and flickshakes,etc. some wacky hooks,jigheads. is this something that would better require a spinning setup?

arent they on sale tho? or is that the regular guide ones for like 89?

yea sort of goldish orange color.

anyone use any of the older carbonlite reels? found a couple in classifieds that are an orange color and look almost identical to a PQ. just wondering if these are good reels?

r the guides on the new ones as good as the black ones?

from the few ive used id pick the curado i. tho for my next setup im gonna try a tatula

seriously? man i was set on picking up a st croix avid but after reading all this i may just go do a trade in and grab a carbonlite

think im gonna pair the rod with a Tatula 6.3:1

picked up a Lamiglas excel 2 glass rod and aside from crankbaits what other techniques do u guys use a glass rod for? i figured topwAter but im also wondering if anyone throws buzzbaits or spinnerbaits on them sometimes? figured it would help with allowing the fish to take the bait without ripping it from its mouth. i like the rod it feels like it has a little more power than my powell diesel

anyone use a reel that has a twitching bar and do they work well ? every now and then i see a deal on something like a daiwa viento and was just curious

man u gota spend more than that

id like to pick up a 7' heavy. hopefully some more will show up

what about the rod? i only mentioned the carbonlite cuz it can b had at a heck of a deal right now. no idea the sensitivity. i know the basspro mh/f rods are pretty stout so i should be good with a 7' mh

i bought a few 1/4oz and a few 3/8-1/2oz jigs. occasionally moderate cover.

would a 7ft heavy xtra fast carbonlite make a good jig rod? just starting to get into jig fishing and in need of a good rod.

a few jigs some berkley plastics,chatterbaits etc. my bps still has plenty of carbonlites and PQs i may go one day this week and pick up one

they sold em quick. looks like all thats left is a 7ft medium

also whats the best jig head/hook to use with em?

academy has these on clearance and i picked up some. never fished em before but seems to be pretty popular. anyone have a lot of success with em and what colors work best for u?
